Battery, Hydrogen and Green Fairy Tales

Viv Forbes Saltbush Club How low Australia has fallen – our once-great BHP now has a “Vice President for Climate”, the number of Australian students choosing physics at high school is collapsing and our government opposes nuclear energy while pretending we can build and operate nuclear submarines. Our Green politicians want

Face of the Day

A criminal with 35 convictions – all against female victims – is expected to be deported to New Zealand after having his visa cancelled by Australian immigration authorities under a new policy.

What a Load of Gas

What a Load of Gas

It used to be said, of something pointless, that it was like “sending coal to Newcastle”. Thanks to green lawfare, Australia may soon be doing just that, only with gas. Australia is one of the largest exporters of liquified natural gas in the world, yet its suffering such an acute

Albo Let the Camel in the Tent

The Australian Labor government is learning the hard way that you let the camel into your tent at your peril: the bastard keeps spitting on you and you end up with fleas. But Labor has been so determined to curry the Muslim vote, especially in its Western Sydney heartland, that

The Trojan Camel Is in the Gates

PM Anthony Albanese and his government’s weakness and duplicity since October 7 are wakening a spectre that hasn’t haunted Australian politics for half a century. A beast that once nearly broke the Labor party and is threatening to again. Sectarian politics. In the 1950s, divisions between Labor’s

Just Think, All This Could Have Been in the Constitution!

When Anthony Albanese launched his disastrous “Voice” referendum, many naturally questioned why an “advisory body” needed to be enshrined in the Constitution. “So it can’t be abolished by a future government, like ATSIC was!” was the answer. Yet, the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was abolished for

Albo Just Can’t Back a Winner

A positive public reputation takes a long, diligent time to build, but can be destroyed in an instant. A bad reputation is all-but entrenched: kick a puppy once and nobody will ever forget it. Anthony Albanese might as well have booted Toto up the jacksie on the steps of parliament,

Why Can’t the Media Be Honest About Nuclear?

Why Can’t the Media Be Honest About Nuclear?

Nuclear energy is set to be – no pun intended – the hot-button issue of the next Australian election. After more than a decade in which voters have become increasingly frustrated with what they see as uniparty rule – the so-called “Laborals” – on climate change especially, Coalition leader Peter Dutton has finally hit

Who Will Defend the Taxpayer?

Is Australia the only country mad enough to use taxpayer’s money to fund people whose sole purpose appears to be trying to wreck the country’s prosperity? Perhaps not the only one, but certainly the most determinedly demented. Australia is the environmental lawfare “capital of the world”, according to

The Global Greenlash Isn’t Looking Good for the Greens

The Australian Greens have rarely garnered more than 11–13 per cent of the vote. Moreover, their vote is almost exclusively concentrated in the wealthiest, inner-city suburbs of the biggest cities. But it’s notable that, every time they’ve wielded political clout – always courtesy of a Labor government desperate

It Really Isn’t Easy under Albanese

So, how bad is inflation in Australia? Just ask anyone who works in retail. As one retail worker recently told me, a customer was irate to discover that, in a matter of weeks, one of their favourite products had nearly doubled in price. It’s an extreme example, perhaps, but

Not the Messiah They’re Telling You

Frankly, I’d hoped to avoid having to write anything about Julian Assange, I really had. Unfortunately, the puzzling fangirling of so many on the right for this unpleasant propagandist, and their strangely credulous willingness to parrot the talking-points of the left, conspired to force my hand. Many years ago,

Who Are the Rats, Now?

Any doubts that the Australian Labor Party have sold their souls to pander to the Muslim vote have been dispelled for good. The party’s kid-gloves treatment of ‘rat’ Fatima Payman gives the jig away for all to see. Western Australian senator Fatima Payman has crossed the floor to vote

It’s Good to Be the Ruling Elite

If there’s one thing the new elite are good at, it’s looking after themselves. ’Twas ever thus, of course, but to damn them with faint praise, the old money at least had some vague notions of noblesse oblige. Today’s elites have only one moral compass: gimme, gimme,

Facing China with a Third Path

Warren Wang Warren escaped Communist China a decade ago to pursue education in Australia. Now a finance businessman, he passionately defends libertarian freedoms. Vigorously opposing Covid lockdowns and mandates, Warren champions traditional Western liberties, hoping Australia avoids becoming the repressive nation he left behind.
